This was an unbelievably savage virus.
It killed my Antivirus, the Microsoft malware removal tool and every other Antivirus program I tried to download and run.
It hijacked my browser to the point where it was almost unusable.
It compromised the system restore files so system restore could not complete its run on any restore point.
Finally I had to go back to factory settings run from safe mode to clear the operating system.

I have got my system stable .. and running again, with most of my software installed again from back ups on removable disc.
Everything appears clear after a nine hour remote session with a Microsoft help desk technician.
These guys are super helpful if you can find your way through the 'contact Microsoft' maze and actually contact them.

So watch out for this one.
It came down in a software bundle with a Vista ISO I needed to repair a friends laptop..

Have a happy new year.
